The Cost of Capital

The Cost of Capital Chapter 9

Learning Goals • Sources of capital • Cost of each type of funding • Calculation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) • Construction and use of the marginal cost of capital schedule (MCC)

Factors Affecting the Cost of Capital • General Economic Conditions • Affect interest rates • Market Conditions • Affect risk premiums • Operating Decisions • Affect business risk • Financial Decisions • Affect financial risk • Amount of Financing • Affect flotation costs and market price of security

Weighted Cost of Capital Model • Compute the cost of each source of capital • Determine percentage of each source of capital in the optimal capital structure • Calculate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

1. Compute Cost of Debt • Required rate of return for creditors • Same cost found in Chapter 12 as yield to maturity on bonds (kd). • e.g. Suppose that a company issues bonds with a before tax cost of 10%. • Since interest payments are tax deductible, the true cost of the debt is the after tax cost. • If the company’s tax rate (state and federal combined) is 40%, the after tax cost of debt • AT kd = 10%(1-.4) = 6%.

Dividend (Dp) Market Price (PP) - F Required rate kp = $5.00 $42.00 kp = = 2. Compute Cost Preferred Stock • Cost to raise a dollar of preferred stock. • Example: You can issue preferred stock for a net price of $42 and the preferred stock pays a $5 dividend. • The cost of preferred stock: 11.90%

3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Two Types of Common Equity Financing • Retained Earnings (internal common equity) • Issuing new shares of common stock (external common equity)

3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of Internal Common Equity • Management should retain earnings only if they earn as much as stockholder’s next best investment opportunity of the same risk. • Cost of Internal Equity = opportunity cost of common stockholders’ funds. • Two methods to determine • Dividend Growth Model • Capital Asset Pricing Model

kRF + (kM – kRF) kS = 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of Internal Common Stock Equity • Capital Asset Pricing Model (Chapter 7)

kRF + (kM – kRF) kS = 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of Internal Common Stock Equity • Capital Asset Pricing Model (Chapter 7) • Example: • The estimated Beta of a stock is 1.2. The risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 13%.

kRF + (kM – kRF) kS = 5% + 1.2(13% – 5%) kS = 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of Internal Common Stock Equity • Capital Asset Pricing Model (Chapter 7) • Example: • The estimated Beta of a stock is 1.2. The risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 13%. 14.6% =

D1 P0 - F kn = + g 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of New Common Stock • Must adjust the Dividend Growth Model equation for floatation costs of the new common shares.

D1 P0 - F kn= + g 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of New Common Stock • Must adjust the Dividend Growth Model equation for floatation costs of the new common shares. • Example: • If additional shares are issued floatation costs will be 12%. D0 = $3.00 and estimated growth is 10%, Price is $60 as before.

D1 P0 - F kn = + g 3(1+0.10) 52.80 kn = + .10 3. Compute Cost of Common Equity • Cost of New Common Stock • Must adjust the Dividend Growth Model equation for floatation costs of the new common shares. • Example: • If additional shares are issued floatation costs will be 12%. D0 = $3.00 and estimated growth is 10%, Price is $60 as before. = .1625 = 16.25%

Source of Capital Cost Bonds kd = 10% Preferred Stock kp= 11.9% Common Stock Retained Earnings ks= 15% New Shares kn = 16.25% Weighted Average Cost of Capital Gallagher Corporation estimates the following costs for each component in its capital structure: Gallagher’s tax rate is 40%

WACC= ka= (WTd x AT kd ) + (WTp x kp ) + (WTs x ks) Weighted Average Cost of Capital • If using retained earnings to finance the common stock portion the capital structure:

WACC= ka= (WTd x AT kd ) + (WTp x kp ) + (WTs x ks) Weighted Average Cost of Capital • If using retained earnings to finance the common stock portion the capital structure: • Assume that Gallagher’s desired capital structure is 40% debt, 10% preferred and 50% common equity.

WACC= ka= (WTd x AT kd ) + (WTp x kp ) + (WTs x ks) Weighted Average Cost of Capital • If using retained earnings to finance the common stock portion the capital structure: • Assume that Gallagher’s desired capital structure is 40% debt, 10% preferred and 50% common equity. WACC = .40 x 10% (1-.4) + .10 x 11.9% + .50 x 15% =11.09%

WACC= ka= (WTd x AT kd ) + (WTp x kp ) + (WTs x ks) Weighted Average Cost of Capital • If using a new equity issue to finance the common stock portion the capital structure:

WACC= ka= (WTd x AT kd ) + (WTp x kp ) + (WTs x ks) Weighted Average Cost of Capital • If using a new equity issue to finance the common stock portion the capital structure: WACC = .40 x 10% (1-.4) + .10 x 11.9% + .50 x 16.25% =11.72%

Marginal Cost of Capital • Gallagher’s weighted average cost will change if one component cost of capital changes. • This may occur when a firm raises a particularly large amount of capital such that investors think that the firm is riskier. • The WACC of the next dollar of capital raised in called the marginal cost of capital (MCC).

Graphing the MCC curve • Assume now that Gallagher Corporation has $100,000 in retained earnings with which to finance its capital budget. • We can calculate the point at which they will need to issue new equity since we know that Gallagher’s desired capital structure calls for 50% common equity.

Available Retained Earnings Breakpoint = Percentage of Total Graphing the MCC curve • Assume now that Gallagher Corporation has $100,000 in retained earnings with which to finance its capital budget. • We can calculate the point at which they will need to issue new equity since we know that Gallagher’s desired capital structure calls for 50% common equity.

Graphing the MCC curve Breakpoint = ($100,000)/.5 = $200,000

Answer the following questions and do the following problems and include them in you ECP Notes. If the cost of new common equity is higher than the cost of internal equity, why would a firm choose to issue new common stock? Why is it important to use a firm’s MCC and not a firm’s initial WACC to evaluate investments? Calculate the AT kd, ks, kn for the following information: Loan rates for this firm = 9% Growth rate of dividends = 4% Tax rate = 30% Common Dividends at t1 = $ 4.00 Price of Common Stock = $35.00 Flotation costs = 6% Your firm’s ks is 10%, the cost of debt is 6% before taxes, and the tax rate is 40%. Given the following balance sheet, calculate the firm’s after tax WACC: Total assets = $25,000 Total debt = 15,000 Total equity = 10,000

Your firm is in the 30% tax bracket with a before-tax required rate of return on its equity of 13% and on its debt of 10%. If the firm uses 60% equity and 40% debt financing, calculate its after-tax WACC. Would a firm use WACC or MCC to identify which new capital budgeting projects should be selected? Why? A firm's before tax cost of debt on any new issue is 9%; the cost to issue new preferred stock is 8%. This appears to conflict with the risk/return relationship. How can this pricing exist? What determines whether to use the dividend growth model approach or the CAPM approach to calculate the cost of equity?

Capital Budgeting Decision Methods Chapter 10 1

Learning Objectives • The capital budgeting process. • Calculation of payback, NPV, IRR, and MIRR for proposed projects. • Capital rationing. • Measurement of risk in capital budgeting and how to deal with it. 2

The Capital Budgeting Process • Capital Budgeting is the process of evaluating proposed investment projects for a firm. • Managers must determine which projects are acceptable and must rank mutually exclusive projects by order of desirability to the firm. 3

The Accept/Reject Decision Four methods: • Payback Period • years to recoup the initial investment • Net Present Value (NPV) • change in value of firm if project is under taken • Internal Rate of Return (IRR) • projected percent rate of return project will earn • Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) 4

Payback Decision Rule • Accept project if payback is less than the company’s predetermined maximum. • If company has determined that it requires payback in three years or less, then you would: • accept Project A • reject Project B 11

Capital Budgeting Methods • Present Value of all costs and benefits (measured in terms of incremental cash flows) of a project. • Concept is similar to Discounted Cashflow model for valuing securities but subtracts the cost of the project. Net Present Value 12
